Are You Content with Death?

#2
Death is scary shit to me. I like to try to be "manly" and say that I ain't afraid of death, but that shit scares me. I don't believe in an afterlife, so to me, death is the very end. Just like there was no me before I was born, there will be no me after. It's very hard to even imagine not being able to "be" or to exist.

The other side of it is not being able to see shit beyond my death. I can't imagine not being able to see and be a part of my nephew's life. Also, another fear is, unless you have done something to gain renown, most the times you are completely forgotten within a couple generations. Honestly, how many people know anything about their great-grandparents other than their name? Not many.

So, simple answer, I am not content with death, but I realize that death is the curse of living. Sad, but true.

I am not content with death because I have not achieved monetary gain, my family is not happy, and my country is not in a good state. When those three things happen, I will be content with death. Or, to be more simple:

When I am able to wake up in the morning and realize that I do not have one single worry in the world, I will be ready for death.

I am also not content with death, well not yet. I want to achieve my career, have a family and live life to the fullest. I hope my demise does not happen to sudden in where it will burden my family financially and emotionally. I want to live until I cant live no more. Hoping like everyone else, to live an old life with the misses.

When I am able to wake up in the morning and realize that I do not have one single worry in the world, I will be ready for death.
Same here bro.

I'm not content with death. It's often a thing I think about and it bothers me. I don't know if it's so much that I fear it, but I haven't accomplished everything I want to yet, so therefore death is premature at the point.

I am not content for I have not known death. As for the prospect, well I know nothing about it still. My thirst for life is insatiable.

I disagree entirely. When I am able to wake up in the morning and realise that I do not have one single worry in the world, I will be ready for life.

You assume.


I pose a question: How can we be content with something we have not yet come across? ........Sure we watch other people die; that's not knowing death, that is just being in the presence of someone experiencing death.
Imo the statement 'are you content with death?' is absurd! Some assume death is the end of life, that is a frozen perspective, a closed 'concept'.

However if the question implies are you content with the prospect of death? Then that's entirely different. This is based on idea, where the other is of actuality.

I agree. I'm not content with death either. I'm only 21, I don't yet comprehend the full extent of what life has to offer. Without that understanding, death, as you say, would be seem premature as well as somewhat unfair. There is too much left to experience and achieve before I will feel like I have satisfied life enough for it to be taken away.

Understandable. However, when that moment comes, I have achieved everything in life that I wanted to. Therefore, I have played the game of life and passed it. The next level is the unknown, death. We are only scared of death because it's so unknown to us. But, what I said was ironic, anyways. There will never be a time when I wake up and do not have a single worry in the world.
